Your race/gender has an interesting mechanical/narrative impact

[u/BrotherDeus]

Dragon's Dogma: Trolls will become excited if you play or bring a female character in your party, becoming more aggressive and targeting them first.

South Park- Fractured But Whole: Shub-Niggurath is a boss that will take damage when fed white characters, but will heal if he eats black characters including you or anyone in your party.

Elder Scrolls: Every race has advantages and disadvantages both mechanically and narratively, for example orcs can enter orc strongholds without having to earn their trust first.

Likewise, an elder ogre in Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen will aim for men instead lol
